This psalm was written by David when he was in a dire situation. (Psalm 22) Though the specific context is not known, it is a Messianic psalm, prophesying the pain and agony the Lord will go through as crucified on the cross of Calvary.
My God “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” was quoted by the Lord. (Matthew 27:46) “My God” demonstrates the relationship with God. Saying twice means the intimate fellowship with the Father, and the intense pain and agony.
Forsaken The wrath of God, also the sword David mentions, is the death sentence that should be poured on humans; it was poured on the Lord as He took the wages of sin, death, upon Himself.
Mocked David felt like a worm, insignificant, so was the Lord treated. He was surrounded by haters, scoffers, and mockers. “And those who passed by derided him, wagging their heads…He trusts in God; let God deliver him now, if he desires him. For he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’” (Matthew 27:39-43)
Thirst The Lord suffered intense thirst and said, “I Thirst,” like David, who said My tongue clings to my jaws. (John 19:28)
Pierced They pierced my hands and my feet. Hundreds of years before crucifixion was introduced as capital punishment by the Persians, followed by the Romans, David foresaw the crucifixion of the Messiah.
Count bones David experienced that his bones were out of joint, painful, but he was able to count all his bones, no broken bones. The Lord Jesus did not have broken bones, as noted by Apostle John. (John 19:31-37)
Ruptured heart David says that his heart is like a wax melter. This refers to the ruptured heart of the Lord on the cross. (John 19:34)
Casting lots As David wrote, they divided the garments by casting lots. (John 19:23-24; Matthew 27:35)
The Result The poor shall seek, find, and be satisfied in the Lord Jesus Christ. Hence, he will be remembered, praised, and worshipped by all the families of nations. The Righteous Kingdom will be proclaimed through generations.
Do I know the Triumphant Lord?
